Today’s Network Configuration Pipelines

DEV4


“Every time we implement a network change something goes wrong…”

“Isn’t it great, our switch hasn’t been rebooted in 6 years”

“We can’t update/change the network, our business won’t allow it”

* Paraphrased quotes from actual network operators

DEVNET-1296 5


74% of operators report network changes have significantly impacted their business*

97% of operators admit human factors cause network outages*

22% of unplanned outages caused by human error**

Continuous Development(or CICD)

• Continuous development is the natural progression of iteration times shrinking into insignificance. Through heavy use of automation, flexible infrastructure and modular architecture, software development leaders have come to the point where each code change is its own deployment.

Continuous Development Process Flow

Continuous Integration Merging of development work with code base constantly so that automated testing can catch problems early

Continuous DeliverySoftware package delivery mechanism for releasing code to staging for review and inspection

Continuous DeploymentRelies on CI and CD to automatically release code into production as soon as it is ready. Constant flow of new features into production

Best practices for creating slides

• Make sure every slide is assigned to a layout from the new template.• Reset slides to the correct layout using Home/Layout (both PC and Mac).• Reset a slide back to the correct formatting use:• Home/Reset (PC) • Home/Layout/Reset Layout to Default Settings (Mac)

• Resetting a slide to the proper layout can resolve issues like disappearing titles or misplaced bullets.

• If page numbers are not formatting correctly after the slides have been moved to the new template and connected to the correct layout, then turn the slide numbers off and then back on.

• Home/Replace (PC) Format/Replace Fonts (Mac) allows you to replace fonts globally.

Best practices for creating slides

• Your presentation will be saved and posted as a PDF, so what you see onscreen in Normal Mode is how the PDF will appear.

• Split up a series of animations over several slides so key information is not hidden when saved as a PDF. Include a final slide with all elements in place.

• If you include log files in your slides, please make sure they come from a lab system—not a customer production system that could contain sensitive customer information.

• Use text for just the most important data, with a minimum font size of 14 pt.

• If you have a number of text slides in a row, try to keep the same size text across all the slides to make it easier to read in the flow.



Steps for filling in presentation IDs

• Once you have entered your Session ID on the Title Slide:• Copy the Session ID• Insert / Header & Footer / Paste the Session ID into the Footer box• Ensure Slide number and Footer checkboxes are marked• Click “Apply to All”

Seven tips

for better

presentations

1. Tell a story—make them care

2. Start with what’s most important

to them

3. Keep it simple, and short

4. Use more slides with less

on them, and cut any slides that

you can

5. Use clear, natural language

6. Make it a conversation

and leave time to listen

7. Tell them what to do next—get

them to act
